Glass

Glass is a non-crystallineamorphous solid that is often transparent and has widespread practical, technological, and decorative usage in, for example, window panes, tableware, and optoelectronics. Scientifically, the term "glass" is often defined in a broader sense, encompassing every solid that possesses a non-crystalline (that is, amorphous) structure at the atomic scale and that exhibits a glass transition when heated towards the liquid state.

The most familiar, and historically the oldest, types of glass are based on the chemical compound silica (silicon dioxide), the primary constituent of sand. The term glass, in popular usage, is often used to refer only to this type of material, which is familiar from use as window glass and in glass bottles. Of the many silica-based glasses that exist, ordinary glazing and container glass is formed from a specific type called soda-lime glass, composed of approximately 75% silicon dioxide (SiO2), sodium oxide (Na2O) from sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), calcium oxide, also called lime (CaO), and several minor additives. A very clear and durable quartz glass can be made from pure silica which is very tough and resistant to thermal shock, being able to survive immersion in water while red hot. However, quartz must be heated to well over 3,000°F (1,650°C) (white hot) before it begins to melt, and it has a very narrow glass transition, making glassblowing and hot working difficult. In glasses like soda lime, the other compounds are used to lower the melting temperature and improve the temperature workability of the product at a cost in the toughness, thermal stability, and optical transmittance.

Door

A door is a moving structure used to block off, and allow access to, an entrance to or within an enclosed space, such as a building or vehicle. Similar exterior structures are called gates. Typically, doors have an interior side that faces the inside of a space and an exterior side that faces the outside of that space. While in some cases the interior side of a door may match its exterior side, in other cases there are sharp contrasts between the two sides, such as in the case of the vehicle door. Doors normally consist of a panel that swings on hinges or that slides or spins inside of a space.

When open, doors admit people, animals, ventilation or light. The door is used to control the physical atmosphere within a space by enclosing the air drafts, so that interiors may be more effectively heated or cooled. Doors are significant in preventing the spread of fire. They also act as a barrier to noise. Many doors are equipped with locking mechanisms to allow entrance to certain people and keep out others. As a form of courtesy and civility, people often knock before opening a door and entering a room.

Microsoft introduced an operating environment named Windows on November 20, 1985, as a graphical operating system shell for MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market with over 90% market share, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in 1984. However, since 2012, because of the massive growth of smartphones, Windows sells less than Android, which became the most popular operating system in 2014, when counting all of the computing platforms each operating system runs on; in 2014, the number of Windows devices sold were less than 25% of Android devices sold. However, comparisons across different markets are not fully relevant; and for personal computers, Windows is still the most popular operating system.

Plot

Helen Quilley (Gwyneth Paltrow) gets fired from her public relations job. As she leaves the building she drops an earring in the lift – a man retrieves it for her. She rushes for her train on the London Underground and misses it. The plot then splits into two parallel universes, the other detailing the separate path her life would have taken had she caught that train.

Improve Your View of Glass Specifications

There are always at least two levels of manufacturing to produce a single type of insulating glass unit. Specifiers must distinguish between manufacturers of base glass, coatings, and fabrications that include insulating and laminated glass. Specifiers need to see through a haze of confusion to clearly specify the various types of glass needed for projects. Next, the specifier must specify different methods of installation for those types. JoinDavid and Louis to discuss practical approaches to specifying glass products and glazing methods and avoiding common misunderstandings.
- Who makes base glass?
- Who applies performance and aesthetic coatings?
- Who assembles glass lites into insulating glass units?
- What are the most common glazing methods and where are they used?

Mockups, Mockups, Mockups!

• When should they be specified?
• What types can be had?

There are so many considerations when specifying mockups – the type, the purpose, the size, the number, the cost, and the schedule, among others. JoinLouis and Dave with our guest host Mel Cowen, CPE, 2nd Vice President of American Society of Professional Estimators, and senior estimator for Chicago-based Leopardo contractors to expose the mysteries of mockups.

No Thermal Break, No Problem: Upgrading Kahn’s Stainless Steel Windows in the Richards Building

The AlfredNewton Richards Medical Research Laboratory (Richards Building) at the University of Pennsylvania is one of the most important buildings in the career of architect Louis I. Kahn and one of the great buildings of the 20th century. Designed 1957-1958 and completed in 1961 the Richards Building was at the time deemed an architectural milestone worthy of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2008 the Richards Building was nominated for and granted status as a National Historic Landmark (NHL). As a NHL the building must be treated with exceptional care, with particular regard for its outward appearance and the integrity of its material palette.

6 Well Used Table Saws - Comparison & Review *The Good, Bad & Ugly

After years of use, Lets compare over 6 well used popular portable table saws. I'll tell you which one lasted the longest & what to avoid. DeWALT, Makita, Porter Cable, Craftsman, Ryobi & more.
IMO Makita & DeWalt are well built machines.
After doing a little research turns out Porter Cable was owned by delta tools. Delta owned Porter Cable tools & in 2o11 was bought out by a taiwanese company. Now Delta is no longer made in the usa but rather over seas & porter cable imo has suffered tremendously in quality. I may pick up a few new routers & a belt sander before those turn into junk as well.

FineArtTV Series - Colour In Your Life
Season - 13
Episode - 07
Filmed on Location at - Half Moon Bay, California, USA.
Douglass Brown grew up in Silicon Valley, California at a time when companies actually made the chips there instead of designing and having them made elsewhere in the world. Doug's first job in high tech was washing diffusion tubes, the 7 to 8 foot long test tube looking chambers where vapors are deposited onto the chips. They had a glass blower that would come in to fix broken glass at the facility. Doug kept him busy!
Douglass Brown found himself at 23 young traveling in Europe, living off the proceeds of a sale of a property he had owned for a short time. He had just gotten off a tall ship in Jersey and stumbled into a cafe in St MaloFrance that took his breathe away. Deeply carved, sand blasted glass in large format widows depicting sailing ships was too hard for him to resist. Doug studied them and promised himself he would return to the states and do this art!
So he did! Doug learned as much as he could from everyone he came in contact with. He got lucky and developed a relationship with a contractor that was doing a lot of commercial work in casinos in Nevada and ended up doing work throughout the world with his help. It was a great time in his life as family life came into play. He put his glass art career on hold and pursued what he needed to do.
It was during this time that Doug took his first job working glass at a laser fabrication company. Doug started working with quartz glass to fill in the time between artistic jobs with high tech glass jobs. The material is amazing because of its lack of expansion and ability to withstand thermal shock. Its high temperature is more like welding steel than what he does today with the glass he works with now.
Douglass Brown studied extensively at Corning Glass Museum, Pilchuck, Bay Are GlassInstitute, and Public glass in San Francisco
Doug's specialty is his famous, hand blown colorful Half Moon Bay glass pumpkins and Jellyfish lamps. Every single one of these incredibly beautiful creations is uniquely different.

There are always at least two levels of manufacturing to produce a single type of insulating glass unit. Specifiers must distinguish between manufacturers of base glass, coatings, and fabrications that include insulating and laminated glass. Specifiers need to see through a haze of confusion to clearly specify the various types of glass needed for projects. Next, the specifier must specify different methods of installation for those types. JoinDavid and Louis to discuss practical approaches to specifying glass products and glazing methods and avoiding common misunderstandings.
- Who makes base glass?
- Who applies performance and aesthetic coatings?
- Who assembles glass lites into insulating glass units?
- What are the most common glazing methods and where are they used?

Engineering: Assembling The Leadenhall Building - The Cheese Grater of LondonDocumentary HD
Welcome to DOCUMENTARY HD channel - home of the best documentary films and documentary movies!
Built by Laing O'Rourke, designed by Graham Stirk of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and developed by British Land and Oxford Properties,[10] the new Leadenhall Building is 225 m (737 ft) tall, with 48 floors. With its distinctive wedge-shaped profile it has been nicknamed the Cheesegrater,[11][12] a name originally given to it by the City of London Corporation's chief planning officer, Peter Rees, who upon seeing a model of the concept "told Richard Rogers I could imagine his wife using it to grate parmesan. [The name] stuck."[13]
The planning application was submitted to the City of London Corporation in February 2004 and was approved in May 2005.[14] In 2006 Scheme Design (RIBAStage D) started. In a statement made to the London Stock Exchange on 14 August 2008, British Land said it was delaying the project, which was due to start in October 2010.[15] On 22 December2010, the developer announced the project was moving forward with contracts being signed for the 50/50 joint venture with Oxford Properties.[12]
The new tower features a tapered glass façade on one side which reveals steel bracings, along with a ladder frame to emphasize the vertical appearance of the building. It also appears to anchor the tower to the ground, giving a sense of strength. Unlike other tall buildings, which typically use a concrete core to provide stability, the steel megaframe, engineered by Arup, provides stability to the entire structure and is the world's tallest of its kind. The base features a 30 m high atrium. This will be open to the public and will extend the adjacent plaza. The flat side of the building is also encased in glass, and houses the mechanical services – in particular the elevator shafts. These have been turned into an architectural feature in a vein similar to the neighboring Lloyd's building – they deliberately show off the elevator machinery with bright orange painted counterweights and the actual elevator motors themselves.
This unusual design's main drawback is the building's relatively small floorspace (84,424 m²) for a building of its height. However, it is hoped that the slanting wedge-shaped design will have less impact on the protected sightline of St Paul's Cathedral when viewed from Fleet Street and the west.
The development is expected to cost approximately £286 million.[16]
In July 2011, British Land and Oxford Properties announced that Laing O'Rourke was the main contractor for the works of the new Leadenhall Building. Throughout 2011, construction began with the basement floors. By December 2012, the steelwork had progressed up to the fifth mega-level, with topping out expected in February or March. The glass cladding had also begun to rise. By June 2013, the steelwork of the building was completely topped out with the glass cladding covering almost half the building.
The construction of the building was the subject of an episode of the SuperSkyscrapers documentary series by the American television channel PBS in February 2014.[17]
In November 2014 two bolts on the fifth floor failed in-service and dropped to ground level.[18] Following this, the bolts were tied to prevent bolt loss. A third bolt failed in January 2015, but was retained by the installed ties. The bolts were determined to have failed by a process known as hydrogen embrittlement.[19] Subsequently, further at-risk bolts were to be replaced

No Thermal Break, No Problem: Upgrading Kahn’s Stainless Steel Windows in the Richards Building

The AlfredNewton Richards Medical Research Laboratory (Richards Building) at the University of Pennsylvania is one of the most important buildings in the career of architect Louis I. Kahn and one of the great buildings of the 20th century. Designed 1957-1958 and completed in 1961 the Richards Building was at the time deemed an architectural milestone worthy of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2008 the Richards Building was nominated for and granted status as a National Historic Landmark (NHL). As a NHL the building must be treated with exceptional care, with particular regard for its outward appearance and the integrity of its material palette. As an occupied, working building any renovations must with equal vigor and discipline consider necessary changes to the interior and exterior to better serve the functional purpose and the needs of present-day occupancy and operations.
One of the signature elements of the Richards Building is the remarkably detailed and constructed exterior envelope consisting of co-planar exposed concrete structure, brick and monolithic, polished plate, fixed glazing set in custom fabricated bent stainless steel frames. Kahn’s use of heavy gauge, matte (‘pewter’ in his parlance) finish sheet stainless steel, both as panel and brake-formed as a framing material became a trademark – though little discussed – element of his design vocabulary until the end of his career. The use of this material begins with the AF of L Medical Services building in Philadelphia (demolished 1973) designed 1954-55, where we can witness Kahn’s testing early details utilizing more conventional rolled steel and extruded aluminum glazing sections before finally arriving at – and executing – a bent plate design. The system employed In Richards evolves out of these early explorations into one that uses the folded steel to create both shadows and strength, enabling a frame of unique lightness and remarkable elegance – that allows the glass itself to float almost weightlessly within the building frame.
A comprehensive renovation project was the catalyst for fully evaluating the exterior envelope and developing a design approach that retained the iconic visual and material characteristics of the building as viewed from both the exterior and interior while radically improving the energy performance and functional qualities of the building. This presentation will review the history and development of Kahn’s glazing system and unveil the comprehensive approach that was undertaken by an integrated design team including architects, engineers, materials conservators and building envelope specialists on how best to conserve the original steel framing and bronze entry doors while optimizing the overall performance of the exterior envelope and building systems. The process included developing a detailed understanding of the original design intent for not just the building envelope but the entire construction including the engineering systems and using that knowledge as a basis for developing design alternatives and a conservation plan that responded to the stated design objectives at different levels. In concert with the owner and the contractor a final design was developed that best balanced preservation, energy efficiency, economy and constructability.

After years of use, Lets compare over 6 well used popular portable table saws. I'll tell you which one lasted the longest & what to avoid. DeWALT, Makita, Porter Cable, Craftsman, Ryobi & more.
IMO Makita & DeWalt are well built machines.
After doing a little research turns out Porter Cable was owned by delta tools. Delta owned Porter Cable tools & in 2o11 was bought out by a taiwanese company. Now Delta is no longer made in the usa but rather over seas & porter cable imo has suffered tremendously in quality. I may pick up a few new routers & a belt sander before those turn into junk as well.
Dont waste good money on a porter cable table saw. My buddy now has 2 saws that the blade doesn't want to lift up & down, good luck...

I interview Ken Johnston who worked for NASA during the Apollo moon landings and saw clear photos of domes on the moon and other structures. He claims there are bases on the moon and mars.
DR. KEN JOHNSTON SR.
INTRODUCTION TO THE STORY OF KEN JOHNSTON, NASA ARCHIVIST/WHISTLEBLOWER
KEN'S BIO
-----------------
Dr. R. Ken Johnston, Sr. one of 4 CivilianAstronaut Consultant Pilots from the ApolloMoonProgram, is a retired aerospace engineer, US Marine, and “NASA Whistleblower.” He refused to strictly follow orders and destroy a nearly-complete collection of 8″ x 10″ glossy photo-prints from the Apollo program, photos that are not available from NASA at this time and are of a higher resolution than what is found online. Johnston was born at Fort Sam HoustonUS ArmyAir Base in San Antonio, TX. 1942, and studied at Oklahoma City University. He enlisted in the US Marines in August, 1962 and reported to Pensacola as a MarineOfficer Cadet for flight training in September 1964. He left active duty from the Marines in August 1966.
Johnston was hired by Grumman Aircraft Corp. because of his training as a pilot with an avionics background to become a principal contractor for the Apollo Lunar Module testing. His duty was to assist with cockpit and instrument development and Astronaut training at the MannedSpace Center (to be renamed JSC) in Houston, Texas, as a “civilian astronaut consultant pilot." Ken Johnston worked as a contractor from 1966 to 1972, during the Apollo Program, and he was employed by Brown & Root Northroup, principal contractors to NASA for management of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where all the moon rocks were stored, curated, cataloged and in some cases, distributed to scientists who had successfully applied to carry out analysis in their own labs.
An important part of Johnston‘s duty was to provide photographic and peliminary analysis of the lunar samples to the contributing scientists from around the world. The photographic documentation was to document the lunar samples exact location and orientation in situ. In addition to the photos he provided copies of the lunar sample information catalogs to the scientists. As such, he had in his office several sets of photographs taken by Apollo astronauts with their chest-mounted Hasselblad cameras. When the lunar sample distribution wound down, he was instructed by Bud Laskawa, his boss, to destroy what remained of the photo archive, but Johnston kept one set as a personal collection for a work portfolio.
Johnston applied to NASA for the 1977 astronaut selection for duty as a Space Shuttle astronaut, but was turned down because NASA wanted the astronauts to be PhD level scientists. The ideal astronaut was no longer a “jet-jock”, but men with scientific accreditation. When NASA was recruiting again, Johnston re-applied, but was considered too old. He did, however, join NASA’s educational outreach program as a “Solar System Ambassador” traveling and speaking to civic and youth groups about space exploration and careers in engineering and science.

Johnston applied to NASA for the 1977 astronaut selection for duty as a Space Shuttle astronaut, but was turned down because NASA wanted the astronauts to be PhD level scientists. The ideal astronaut was no longer a “jet-jock”, but men with scientific accreditation. When NASA was recruiting again, Johnston re-applied, but was considered too old. He did, however, join NASA’s educational outreach program as a “Solar System Ambassador” traveling and speaking to civic and youth groups about space exploration and careers in engineering and science.

How to install subway tile in a shower. Many subway wall tiles will have automatic spacers built into the tile, for this reason it will not be necessary to use a separate spacer to install this type of tile, harder 3x6 porcelain tiles will generally not have these automatic spacers. Because the tile is to be installed in a shower stall, the tile will have to be installed using a thinset, mastic should not be used in a wet area. The backer board used should also be water safe, like Durock, Denshield or Hardi Board, or any Cement board, other options would include Schluter Kerdi and other waterproofing membranes, sheetrock, or green board should not be used. If a cement board is used a liquid applied waterproofing should be used in conjunction with the cement board. This video demonstrates the basics of installing subway tile in a shower area along with some other useful tips.

Season - 13
Episode - 07
Filmed on Location at - Half Moon Bay, California, USA.
Douglass Brown grew up in Silicon Valley, California at a time when companies actually made the chips there instead of designing and having them made elsewhere in the world. Doug's first job in high tech was washing diffusion tubes, the 7 to 8 foot long test tube looking chambers where vapors are deposited onto the chips. They had a glass blower that would come in to fix broken glass at the facility. Doug kept him busy!
Douglass Brown found himself at 23 young traveling in Europe, living off the proceeds of a sale of a property he had owned for a short time. He had just gotten off a tall ship in Jersey and stumbled into a cafe in St MaloFrance that took his breathe away. Deeply carved, sand blasted glass in large format widows depicting sailing ships was too hard for him to resist. Doug studied them and promised himself he would return to the states and do this art!
So he did! Doug learned as much as he could from everyone he came in contact with. He got lucky and developed a relationship with a contractor that was doing a lot of commercial work in casinos in Nevada and ended up doing work throughout the world with his help. It was a great time in his life as family life came into play. He put his glass art career on hold and pursued what he needed to do.
It was during this time that Doug took his first job working glass at a laser fabrication company. Doug started working with quartz glass to fill in the time between artistic jobs with high tech glass jobs. The material is amazing because of its lack of expansion and ability to withstand thermal shock. Its high temperature is more like welding steel than what he does today with the glass he works with now.
Douglass Brown studied extensively at Corning Glass Museum, Pilchuck, Bay Are GlassInstitute, and Public glass in San Francisco
Doug's specialty is his famous, hand blown colorful Half Moon Bay glass pumpkins and Jellyfish lamps. Every single one of these incredibly beautiful creations is uniquely different.

Improve Your View of Glass Specifications

There are always at least two levels of manufacturing to produce a single type of insulating glass unit. Specifiers must distinguish between manufacturers of base glass, coatings, and fabrications that include insulating and laminated glass. Specifiers need to see through a haze of confusion to clearly specify the various types of glass needed for projects. Next, the specifier must specify different methods of installation for those types. JoinDavid and Louis to discuss practical approaches to specifying glass products and glazing methods and avoiding common misunderstandings.
- Who makes base glass?
- Who applies performance and aesthetic coatings?
- Who assembles glass lites into insulating glass units?
- What are the most common glazing methods and where are they used?

Mockups, Mockups, Mockups!

• When should they be specified?
• What types can be had?
• What advantage and what impact do they have?
There are so many considerations when specifying mockups – the type, the purpose, the size, the number, the cost, and the schedule, among others. JoinLouis and Dave with our guest host Mel Cowen, CPE, 2nd Vice President of American Society of Professional Estimators, and senior estimator for Chicago-based Leopardo contractors to expose the mysteries of mockups.

Engineering: Assembling The Leadenhall Building - The Cheese Grater of London Documentary HD

Engineering: Assembling The Leadenhall Building - The Cheese Grater of LondonDocumentary HD
Welcome to DOCUMENTARY HD channel - home of the best documentary films and documentary movies!
Built by Laing O'Rourke, designed by Graham Stirk of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and developed by British Land and Oxford Properties,[10] the new Leadenhall Building is 225 m (737 ft) tall, with 48 floors. With its distinctive wedge-shaped profile it has been nicknamed the Cheesegrater,[11][12] a name originally given to it by the City of London Corporation's chief planning officer, Peter Rees, who upon seeing a model of the concept "told Richard Rogers I could imagine his wife using it to grate parmesan. [The name] stuck."[13]
The planning application was submitted to the City of London Corporation in February 2004 and was approved in May 2005.[14] In 2006 Scheme Design (RIBAStage D) started. In a statement made to the London Stock Exchange on 14 August 2008, British Land said it was delaying the project, which was due to start in October 2010.[15] On 22 December2010, the developer announced the project was moving forward with contracts being signed for the 50/50 joint venture with Oxford Properties.[12]
The new tower features a tapered glass façade on one side which reveals steel bracings, along with a ladder frame to emphasize the vertical appearance of the building. It also appears to anchor the tower to the ground, giving a sense of strength. Unlike other tall buildings, which typically use a concrete core to provide stability, the steel megaframe, engineered by Arup, provides stability to the entire structure and is the world's tallest of its kind. The base features a 30 m high atrium. This will be open to the public and will extend the adjacent plaza. The flat side of the building is also encased in glass, and houses the mechanical services – in particular the elevator shafts. These have been turned into an architectural feature in a vein similar to the neighboring Lloyd's building – they deliberately show off the elevator machinery with bright orange painted counterweights and the actual elevator motors themselves.
This unusual design's main drawback is the building's relatively small floorspace (84,424 m²) for a building of its height. However, it is hoped that the slanting wedge-shaped design will have less impact on the protected sightline of St Paul's Cathedral when viewed from Fleet Street and the west.
The development is expected to cost approximately £286 million.[16]
In July 2011, British Land and Oxford Properties announced that Laing O'Rourke was the main contractor for the works of the new Leadenhall Building. Throughout 2011, construction began with the basement floors. By December 2012, the steelwork had progressed up to the fifth mega-level, with topping out expected in February or March. The glass cladding had also begun to rise. By June 2013, the steelwork of the building was completely topped out with the glass cladding covering almost half the building.
The construction of the building was the subject of an episode of the SuperSkyscrapers documentary series by the American television channel PBS in February 2014.[17]
In November 2014 two bolts on the fifth floor failed in-service and dropped to ground level.[18] Following this, the bolts were tied to prevent bolt loss. A third bolt failed in January 2015, but was retained by the installed ties. The bolts were determined to have failed by a process known as hydrogen embrittlement.[19] Subsequently, further at-risk bolts were to be replaced

No Thermal Break, No Problem: Upgrading Kahn’s Stainless Steel Windows in the Richards Building

The AlfredNewton Richards Medical Research Laboratory (Richards Building) at the University of Pennsylvania is one of the most important buildings in the career of architect Louis I. Kahn and one of the great buildings of the 20th century. Designed 1957-1958 and completed in 1961 the Richards Building was at the time deemed an architectural milestone worthy of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2008 the Richards Building was nominated for and granted status as a National Historic Landmark (NHL). As a NHL the building must be treated with exceptional care, with particular regard for its outward appearance and the integrity of its material palette. As an occupied, working building any renovations must with equal vigor and discipline consider necessary changes to the interior and exterior to better serve the functional purpose and the needs of present-day occupancy and operations.
One of the signature elements of the Richards Building is the remarkably detailed and constructed exterior envelope consisting of co-planar exposed concrete structure, brick and monolithic, polished plate, fixed glazing set in custom fabricated bent stainless steel frames. Kahn’s use of heavy gauge, matte (‘pewter’ in his parlance) finish sheet stainless steel, both as panel and brake-formed as a framing material became a trademark – though little discussed – element of his design vocabulary until the end of his career. The use of this material begins with the AF of L Medical Services building in Philadelphia (demolished 1973) designed 1954-55, where we can witness Kahn’s testing early details utilizing more conventional rolled steel and extruded aluminum glazing sections before finally arriving at – and executing – a bent plate design. The system employed In Richards evolves out of these early explorations into one that uses the folded steel to create both shadows and strength, enabling a frame of unique lightness and remarkable elegance – that allows the glass itself to float almost weightlessly within the building frame.
A comprehensive renovation project was the catalyst for fully evaluating the exterior envelope and developing a design approach that retained the iconic visual and material characteristics of the building as viewed from both the exterior and interior while radically improving the energy performance and functional qualities of the building. This presentation will review the history and development of Kahn’s glazing system and unveil the comprehensive approach that was undertaken by an integrated design team including architects, engineers, materials conservators and building envelope specialists on how best to conserve the original steel framing and bronze entry doors while optimizing the overall performance of the exterior envelope and building systems. The process included developing a detailed understanding of the original design intent for not just the building envelope but the entire construction including the engineering systems and using that knowledge as a basis for developing design alternatives and a conservation plan that responded to the stated design objectives at different levels. In concert with the owner and the contractor a final design was developed that best balanced preservation, energy efficiency, economy and constructability.

6 Well Used Table Saws - Comparison & Review *The Good, Bad & Ugly

After years of use, Lets compare over 6 well used popular portable table saws. I'll tell you which one lasted the longest & what to avoid. DeWALT, Makita, Porter Cable, Craftsman, Ryobi & more.
IMO Makita & DeWalt are well built machines.
After doing a little research turns out Porter Cable was owned by delta tools. Delta owned Porter Cable tools & in 2o11 was bought out by a taiwanese company. Now Delta is no longer made in the usa but rather over seas & porter cable imo has suffered tremendously in quality. I may pick up a few new routers & a belt sander before those turn into junk as well.
Dont waste good money on a porter cable table saw. My buddy now has 2 saws that the blade doesn't want to lift up & down, good luck...
